From my experience, the pictures look quite bad when viewing them on the Xoom (via the gallery app), but once you offload them and look at them on the computer they look quite good. Do you have auto-focus turned on in the camera settings, and are you holding down the shutter long enough to let it focus? You may accidentally have the camera set to not focus or be in macro mode, which would lead to quite the blurry picture.

Offload some of ur pics onto a computer and see if they still seem blurry.

FWIW it seems like macro shots are the only ones that actually look half-decent on the Xoom itself.

Thanks for the suggestion. This actually shows the pictures clearly. Wonder whatsup with the stock Gallery app?
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
also keep in mind that a tablet is not the optimal platform for taking pics. Image stabilization, while good, cannot work miracles and the tablet form factor is not the easiest to hold steady while taking a pic....
[Xoom General] p2flol:
Quality is just OK, my phone is far better for taking pictures.. I didn't expect much from a tablet anyways..

Video camera is decent aswell, however the stuttering issue I had with my first 2 wifi xooms still exists, oh well, I prob wont even use this for recording anyways...

Hi all,

I'm currently using C7 nightlies and Leedroid, I love sense but i do like some of the features which c7 nightlies come's with, Namely the Screen off / on style animation which is just superb, I don't know if this has been asked (probably has) but is there an apk or even a flashable file which can implement this to sense rom's, it truly would set off the rom i use currently.

Any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am patient, I just didn't know whether or not it could have been implemented or not, c7 has it so I thought it could be possible.

[Vibrant General] oka1:
Since we don't know what you did, and you have done so many things since. Do this:

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!

Good luck
[Vibrant General] roumenjr:
Try going back to CWM and do Factory Reset, clear cache, Wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions, the reboot but pull the battery out.

You didn't specify what exactly you have already done, so I'm just thinking of things I would do.

I know you mentioned Odin, did you use it to flash back to stock 2.1?

If not, do it thru here,

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerseyjereme:
Hey guys, I'm basically new to all of this flashing roms n stuff. I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee@sep-11#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 one click so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released by samsung but kies mini will not read my phone. Do I need to flash back to my stock 2.1, if so how do I go about doing that? Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldd2142:
Yea, you need to go back to 2.1. However, I have no faith in kies what-so-ever. It outright refuses to upgrade my girlfriends stock captivate...

[Xoom General] cue_32:
Im thinking of crossing the border tomorrow to Buffalo and pick up a Xoom to bring back... but my question is, I know its not gonna work with our networks here but I'm mainly going to be using it over WiFi and hoping to tether using my Desire HD.

Questions:

1) Is it true I need to activate the WiFi by signing up for data plan? If so, is there a way around it?

2) Can I just go to Best Buy or Verizon and purchase the device straight up?

Your answers will determine how my plans for morning will be tomorrow... =)
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Activation is not required for wifi. If you convince them you don't want to activate it, you can get away with it.
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
No, you don't have to activate the data plan, Best Buy was the only one saying that, and they backed off on it.

You can go and just outright buy one, yes.
[Xoom General] cue_32:
USA!! USA!! USA!! :)

Here I come!
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Costco still requires activation.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Not true. I bought mine there and although he said I needed to, I told him that Engadget and other sites confirmed that Verizon backed off of this requirement. He made a few calls and confirmed that is the case and I walked out without any Verizon service.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
It depends on the store. The Costco I bought mine from said I had to activate it. I told them that Verizon didn't require it and they said it's Costco's policy, which it is. This will vary store to store for Costco and Best Buy, depending on who is sticking to the corporate policy.

My advice is to go to Verizon. They are the only store that has said on a corporate level that they don't require activation.
[Xoom General] dino325:
Yep, I also picked up mine at Best Buy and wasn't required to activate it. I did though through my local Vzw store and to get my 25% Discount on accessories. :-)
[Xoom General] cue_32:
This is some great info guys.. Buffalo is pretty limited in terms of options and so far I've only seen 2 Best Buys in the area I go to. Good to know I got CostCo and Verizon as an option.
[Xoom General] keitht:
I am not a Costco expert on policies but I do not believe this has anything to do with Costco. I think it is the Verizon reps not knowing what they are doing. I could be wrong but like you said, go elsewhere if you need to but Costco has the best return policy out there so it is worth the fight.
[Xoom General] Falcyn:
It has nothing to do with Costco or Best Buy policy -- they both follow Verizon's corporate policy, which was originally going to be that you had to activate a data package to purchase the device.

But due to customer blowback, Verizon's policy changed on the day of release. However, they did an incredibly horrendous job disseminating that information to sales staff -- both at corporate Verizon stores and at resellers like Best Buy.

For example, yesterday afternoon, I called a corporate Verizon Wireless store directly and they absolutely insisted activation was required.

Then I called VZW's toll-free number and they confirmed it wasn't. I asked them to talk to the store, they did, and I was able to purchase a device activation-free.

Bottom line, this isn't a matter of places following their own policy, it's a matter of places not yet knowing the policy has changed. Give it a couple of days, and I'm sure the problem will go away.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
The guy at my Costco called his regional managers and a few minutes later received a corporate email saying their policy was unchanged, activation was still required. It may have varied in a few cases, but I went to 2 stores with the same results.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Find the info (Google it) from reputable sites and take it with you to Costco and make sure the Verizon rep tells the person on the other side the links to the article(s). Engadget was one of the first sites to post the change. It is a complete fact that activation on Verizon is no longer required anywhere. Again, it is worth it to buy at Costco with the return policy so if it were me, I would keep pressing it.
[Xoom General] djunio:
Costco in my area required it as well. I got mines from Best Buy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player4lifeov:
Can a modified Nexus S beat out an Attrix or is the duo core just to much for the Nexus S.

I'm kind of torn between the two.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
1.4GHz Nexus S will destroy any other phone. Dual core is cool and fun to tell people about but until Honeycomb comes to phones or the next iteration (AKA Ice Cream) hits them dual core isn't really doing much for the OS so you won't see a performance boost plus the Atrix 4G has a lot of lock down on its bootloader and system files so hacking it is going to be an uphill battle. It'll happen but on the Nexus S you use type the following into ADB

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img

and then flash the Superuser zip and you're rooted. Couldn't be easier.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player4lifeov:
Thanks for the input. Much appreciated
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uskr:
Sorry to tell, but that is a lot of misinformation. The OS and kernel are fully taking advantage of both cores on Atrix. All the optimization regarding dual core on Ice cream are related to system services and applicatios, not kernel/os. Right now if you an applicattion that starts a service for background tasks, on atrix, each run on a separate core. Keeping the application lag free. While on nexus S you would notice a lag or other king of performance interference.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
You don't really think that 1 ****ty little app below 10meg is going to be coded to use 2 GPU's all the time ( Angry Birds / Widgets / Browser / OS )

They don't even do that on PC's with Dual cores or Quads or 8 cores e.c.t and running two cores constantly is going to eat battery trying to keep balanced voltages across two cores and display video e.c.t

The only things that will use both cores will be Videos / High end games and even then on core will be at like 70% the other at 20% and the rest going down on the GPU.

You appear to live in a magical world of Unicorns and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow.

If Intel/Nvidea/AMD can't get it right in PC's what chance in hell do they have on a device that eats battery like fat people like chocolate.

Yeah Dual core Phone will be faster but so will battery drain and so will the amount of money in your wallet, no matter what some PR guy says at Mobile Congress " X/Y/Z"

Nexus S gets my vote for phone of the year 2011.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn.geek:
Simm22's NS has returned Quadrant scores over 4400 (personally I've seen over 4k on my phone), but I don't think it's a fair comparison at this point. The NS has the benefit of a few months of development and tweaking to get it to this level, Quadrant may or may not be set up to fairly benchmark the Atrix at this point, and the worth of benchmarking as a measure of real-world performance is generally regarded as dubious in the first place.

That said...

I agonized over the same decision when I bought my NS a few weeks ago.

The Atrix is exceptionally bad ass in many ways, both spec-wise and conceptually, but I decided against it for a few reasons:

-eFuse

-Lack of need for strong multi-tasking capability at this time

-Contract requirements and cost vs. T-Mo and the NS (for full functionality)

-Having to wait for manufacturer OS updates

The NS is more than capable of running anything you can put on an Android phone at this time - and, as mentioned, running at 1.4ghz it is just a beast - so the trade-offs I would have had to make to get the Atrix just weren't worth it to me.

Not yet, anyway. Ask me again in the Fall and maybe it'll be a different story.

What I buy an evo from Amazon???? How will this work for me???? Does Amazon suck huge sack or is it decent???
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
I'm not quite sure why you think one question mark isn't adequate, but anyway... you're fine to buy something from Amazon. Probably safer than buying from eBay. Or you can just check your local listings (craigslist) and meet someone in person to check the phone out first.

Not sure what you mean by "how will this work for me" because any Sprint dealer can wipe the phone and activate it on your account.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
you talking about brand new from amazon .. right?

then it should not be any issues...

but canceling...I think you might want to read the fine print from Amazon. I think they add a few of thier own charges for canceling before 3 months or so.

Hi All,

Had my SGT 3 days and love it..... except that it takes so long to transfer files across to it.

It just took 5 minutes to transfer a 3mb file.

This is happening with both the internal and external sd cards, using both Explorer and Kies.

Is there a way to increase the transfer speed or do I just have to deal with it?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
Hey folks. I'm looking into updating to the latest radio, and so I've concluded it's finally time to get the engineering bootloader onto my phone. I have enough experience with my old G1 to not be super-nervous about it, but I have one quick question first.

When originally rooting using gfree back in late December, I decided to skip the SuperCID and SIM-unlock portions of the process. The wiki instructions for the eng-hboot, however, assume the user did all three options. With simply radio s-off, can I install the new bootloader, or do I need to go back and get SuperCID first?

Thanks for any help you can give.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
You dont need an ENG Hboot to flash the new radio you can use the PC10IMG update method. Heres a link to the post with the download.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
Thanks, joemm - reading through the various radio topics, I've gathered that you've been really helpful in providing PC10IMG files for people, and that's really appreciated.

My concern is if it turns out the new radio is worse than the old; it seems like the easiest way to go back to my current radio is through fastboot flashing, which is why I wanted to go to the eng hboot. I don't see a pc10img already out there with my current tmo, post-OTA radio (though it's listed in the mega-radio topic).

So, I guess my quesion is still open - do I need supercid to flash eng-hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Actually I have a similar situation. I also skipped SuperCID and SIM-unlock when using gfree. (Not sure why I did, but Im sure it made sense at the time)

Anyway I have the eng hboot but would like to upgrade the radio.

Can I run gfree again to do the sim unlock and then upgrade the radio? Or upgrade to this radio - Vision_RADIO_12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27_M - and then run gfree again?

What does the sim-unlock change and supercid change acually happen anyway? I mean does it make a change to the radio itself?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daughain:
Sim unlock makes a permission state change. Makes a 1 a 0, as I recall. Dunno bout SuperCID.

HTC Vision 1.8 OC, CM7 RC1==HAPPY!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
Thanks for the reply Daughain.

But where is that change made? is it made to the radio itself?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I don't think it changes the radio, because I've personally switched radios several times and I didn't have to unlock every time. Once, when I rooted the phone and that was it.
